National Gallery of Art
National Gallery of Art Review
The permanent collections of Greek painting and sculpture of the 19th and 20th centuries (including the work of folk artist Theophilos) are always on display, but popular traveling exhibitions enliven the National Gallery of Art-Alexandros Soutsos museum. The exhibitions are usually major loan shows from around the world, such as an El Greco retrospective, Dutch 17th-century art, modern Spanish architecture and an exhibit tracing the movements of Art Nouveau and Modernism in early 20th-century Paris.
